Very useful
This a good touring map of Ireland
It was printed in 2004 and does not include the recent Limerick by-pass, It features rather well all the drivable road in the country and offer information about golfing and includes city maps of all the main cities.
Following this map we were able to find the old house of a distant relative by identifying features in the map such as trees and hills.
The only problem is that as is so detailed you might have to look at several pages to have an idea of the route to follow.

A fantastic road atlas!
The Complete Road Atlas of Ireland is exactly what it says it is! An excellent, easy to read, highly detailed road map of the entire island of Ireland. It includes city maps, motoring information for north and south, plus a gazetteer (an index of cities, towns and villages to you and me)

Motoring information (examples of warning and regulatory signs which differ slightly between Northern Ireland and the Republic) and a legend to the maps begin the book. The layout takes you from west Donegal on page 1 to east Cork on page 70, with the city maps - Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Londonderry, Armagh, Galway, Kilkenny, Limerick, Lisburn, Newry and Waterford taking the reader to page 84. An index of Golf Clubs in each county follows with grid references.

Scale: 1 cm = 2 kms / 1 in = 3.3 miles

The detail is exceptional - highly recommended !

Needs work on it to improve it.
This atlas is very good on the minor roads (L roads) of Ireland however it has some major failings. It is very frustrating when trying to find tourist sites such as the tombs and hillforts of the Burren, co. Clare. They are either absent altogether or marked in the wrong place. Most of the houses open to the public in Wicklow are missed off plus all sorts of other basic tourist stuff is missing. The position of the golf courses are accurate though, so even if you don't like golf they at least can help you to find yourself! In trying to make labelling clear, names of towns are sometimes so far from where they actually are that you can think they are on another road altogether. The small towns of Kerry are represented by a single white blob and what happens to the road underneath the blob is a total mystery. The town of Kenmare in co. Kerry, which is quite a substantial town, is a prime example and it's a miracle that we're still not trying to get out of it. Also a lot of the new roads being built are not drawn as under construction even in the 2007 edition and the routes of them would have been known then (example: the N10 mysteriously stopping on page53). This is only the second edition. Hopefully future editions will have the detail of a tourist atlas (eg the AA one) incorporated into the excellent minor road network.
